IHIIIG'S SPEECH
OF AGCEPTAflCE
Received by Thousands of Enthusiaa
tic Republican -Today at
Marion, O.
, I Associated Tress)
Marion, July 22. The republican
campaign attained fu'd speed ahead
today with the formal nomination of
Senator Warren G, Harding. The
ceremonies, which brought to Marion
most of the big leade;.t of the party
and thousand of Harding enthus
iast, included theater ptance speech
cf Senator Harding, interpreting the
Chicago platform and declaring the
principles on' which he expects the
campaign to be fought out. The ac
ceptance speech came at the end of a
long program in which enthusiasm
ruled as the visiting delegations
marched by the Harding residence in
unbroken succession. .
Mr. Harding said:
No man is big enough to run this
great republic. There never has been
one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, de
pendability all are assured in party
sponsorship, and we mean to renew
the assurances which were rended in
thvj cataclysmal war.
It was not surprising that we went
far afield from safe and prescribed
paths amid the war anxieties. There
was the unfortunate tendency before;
there .was the'surrender of Congress
to the growing assumption of the ex
ecutive before the world-war imperill
ed all the practices we had learned to
believe in; and in the war emergency
every safeguard was sweet away. In
the name of democracy we established
autocracy. We are not complaining
at this extraordinary bestowal or as
sumption in war, it seemed temporar
ily necessary; our alarm is over the
failure to restore" the constitutional
methods when the war emergency
ended. , "
Our first committal is the restora
tion of representative ponular gov
ernment, under the constitution, thru
the agency of the republican: party.
Our vision includes more than a chief
executive, we believe in a cabinet of
highest capacity, equal to the respon
sibilities which our system contem
plates, in whose councils the vice
president, second official of the repub
lic, shall be asked to participate. The
same vision includes a cordial under
standing and co-ordinated activities
with a House of Congress, fresh from
the people, voicing the. convictions
which members bring from direct con
tact with the electorate, and cordial
co-operation along with the restored
functions of the Senate, fit to be the
greatest deliberative body of the
world. - Its members are the designat
ed sentinels on the 'towers of consti
tutional government. The resumption
of the Senate's authority saved to this
republic its independent nationality,
when "--autocracy misinterpreted the
dream of a world experiment to.be
the vision of a world ideal.
It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge,
to make ourselves, clean on the ques
tion of international relationship. We
republicans of the Senate, conscious
of our constitutional obligations,
when we saw the structure of a world
super-government taking visionary
form, joined in a becoming warning
of our devotion to this republic. If
the torch of constitutionalism had not
been dimmed, the delayed peace of
the woTld and the tragedy of disap
pointment and Europe's misunder
standing of America easily might
have been avoided. The republicans
of the Senate halted the barter of in
dependent American eminence and in
fluencewhich it was proposed to ex
change for an obscure and unequal
place in the merged government 4 of
the world. Our party means to hold
the heritage , of American nationality
unimpaired and unsurrendered.
The world will not misconstrue. We
do not mean to hold aloof. We do not
mean to shun a single responsibility
of 'this republic toward civilization.
There is no hate in the American
heart. We have no envy, no suspic
ion, no aversion for any people in the
world. We hold to our rights, and
means to defend,, aye, we mean to
sustain the rights of this nation and
our citizens alike, everywhere under
the shining sun. Yet there is the con
cord of amity and sympathy and fra
ternity in every resolution. There is
a genuine aspiration in every Amer.
ican breast for a -tranquil friendship
with all the world. J""-
More, we believe the unspeakable
rororws, the immeasurable sacrifices,
the awakened convictions and the as
piring conscience of human kind must
commit the nations of the earth to a
new and better relationship. It need
not be discussed now what motives
plunged the world into war, it need
not be inquired whether we asked the
sonc or this republic to defend our
national rights, as I believe we did,
cr to purge the old world of the ac
cumulated ills of rivalry and greed,
the sacrifices will be in vain if we can
not ucclaim a new order, with added
security to civilization and peace
maintained.
One may readily sense the con
science of our America? I am sure I
understand the purpose of the domi
nant group of the Senate. WTe were
f o.VW to defeat a world aspira
tion, we were resolved to safeguard
'America. We were resoivea men,
even ha we are today, and will be to
morrow, to preserve this free and in
dependent republic Let those now
responsible, or speaking responsibil
ity, propose the surrender, whether
with interpretations, apologies or re
luctant reservations fr&zn which our
rights are to be omittedwe weleome
the referendum to the American peo
ple on the preservation of America,
and the republican party pledges its
defense of the preserved inheritance
of national freedom.
In the call of the conscience of Am
erica is peace, peace that closes the
gaping wound of -world war, and
silences the impassioned voices of in
ternational envy and distrust. Heel
ing this call and knowing as I do the
disposition of the Congress, I prom
ise you formal and effective peace so
quickly as a republican Congress can
pass its declaration for a republican
executive to sign. Then we may turn
to our readjustment at home and pro
ceed deliberately and reflectively to
that hoped-for world relationship
which shall satisfy both conscience
and aspirations and still hold us free
from menacing involvement. ,
I can hear in the call of conscience
an insistent voice for the largely re
duced armaments .throughout the
world, with attending reduction of
burdens upon peace-loving humanity.
We wish to give of American influ
ence and example; we must give of
American leadership to that invalu
able accomplishment.
I can speak unreservedly of the
American aspiration and the republi
can committal for an association oft
nations, co-operating in sublime ac
cord, to attain and preserve peace
through justice rather than force de
termined to add to security through
international law, so clarified that no
misunderstanding can be possible
without affronting world honor.
This republic can never be unmind
ful of its power, and must never for
get " the - force of its example. Pos
sessor of might that admits no fear.
America must stand foremost for the
right. If the mistaken voice of Am
erica, spoken in unheeding haste, led
Europe, in the hour of deepest anx
iety, into a military alliance which
menaces peace and threatens all free
dom, instead of adding to their se
curity, then we must speak the truth
for America and express our hope for
the fraternized conscience of nations.
It .will avail nothing to discuss in
detail the league covenant, which was
conceived for world super-government,
.jiegotia ted in misunderstand
ing, and intolerantly urged and de
manded by its administration spon
sors, who resisted every effort to
safeguard America, arid who finally
rejected it when such ---safeguards
were inserted. If the supreme blun
der has left European relationship in
extricably interwoven in the league
compact,' our sympathy for Europe
only magnifies our own good fortune
in resisting involvements It is bet
ter to be the free and .disinterested
agent of international justice and ad
vancing civilization, with the cove
nant of conscience, than be shackled
by a written compact which surren
ders our freedom of action and gives
to a military alliance the right to
proclaim America's duty to the world.
No surrender of rights to a world
council of its military alliance, no as
sumed mandatory however appealing,
ever shall summon the sons of this
republic to war. Their supreme sac
rifice shall be asked for America and
it3 call of honor. There is a sanctity
ir. that right we will not delegate.
When the compact was being writ
ten, I do not know whether Europe
asked or ambition insistently bestow
ed. It was so good to rejoice in the
world's confidence in our unselfish
ness that I can believe our -evident
disinterestedness inspired Europe's
wish for our association, quite as
much as the selfish thought of enlist
ing American power and resource.
Ours is an outstanding, influential ex
ample to the world, whether we cloak
it in spoken modesty or magnify it in
exaltation. We want to help; we
mean to help; but we hold to our own
interpretation of the ' American con
science as the very soul of our nation
ality ;
Disposed as we are, the way is very
simple, i Let the failure attending as
sumption, obstinacy, impracticability
and delay be recognized, and let us
find the big, practical, unselfish way
to do our part, neither covetous be
cause of ambition nor hesitant thru
fear, but ready to serve , purserves,
humanity and God. With a Senate
advising as the constitution contem
plates, I would hopefully approach
the nations of Europe and of the
earth, proposing that understanding
which makes us a, willing participant
in the consecration of nations to a
new. relationship, to commit the mor
al forces of the world, America in
cluded, to peace and international
justice, still leaving America free, m
dependent and self-reliant, but offer
in g friendship to all the world.
If me call for more specific details,
I remind them that moral commitals
are broad and all inclusive, and we
are contemplating peoples in the con
cord of humanity's advancement.
From our own viewpoint the program
ir: specifically American, and we mean
to be American first, to all the world
Appraising preserved nationality as
the first essential to the continued
progress of the republic, there is
linked with it the supreme necessity
of the restoration let us say the re-revealment--of
the constitution, and
our reconstruction as an industrial
nation. Here is the transcending
task. It concerns our common weal
at home and will decide- our future
eminence in the world. More than
these, this republic, under constitu
tional liberties,, has given to mankind
the most fortunate conditions for hu
man activity and attainment the
world ha ever noted, and we are to
day the world's reserve force in the
great contest for liberty through se
curity, and maintained equality of op
portunity and its righteous rewards.
It is folly to close our eyes to out
standing facts. Humanity is restive,
much of the world is in revolution, the
agents of discord and destruction
have wrought their tragedy in pathe
tic Russia, have lighted their torches
amcng other peoples, and hope to ee
America as 'a part of the great red
conflagration. Ours 13 the temple of
liberty under the law, and it is ours to
call the Sons of Opportunity to its
defense. America must not only save
herself, but ours must be the appeal
ing voice to sober the world.
More than all else the present-day
world needs understanding. There
can be no peace save through compos-1
ed differences, and the submission f
the individual to the will and weal of
the many. Any other plan means an
archy and its rule of force
It must be undertsood that toil
alone makes for accomplishment and
advancement, and righteous possess
ion is the reward of toil, and its in
centive. There is no progress except
in the stimulus of competition. When
competition natural, fair, impelling
competition is suppressed, whether
by law, compact or conspiracy, we
halt the march of progress, silence
the voice of aspiration, and paralyze
the will for achievement. These are
but common sense truths of human
development.
The chief trouble today is that the
world "war wrought the destruction of
healthful competition, left our store
houses empty, and there is a minimum
production when our need is maxi
mum. Maximums, not minimums, is:
the call of America. It isn't a new
story, because war never fails to leave
depleted storehouses and always im
pairs the efficiency of production. War
also establishes its higher standards
for wages, and they abide. I wish the
higher wage to abide, on one explicit
condition that the wage-earner will
give full return for the wage received.
It is the best assurance we can have
for a reduced cost of living.. Mark
you, I anf ready to acclaim the. high
est standard of pay, but I would be
blind to the responsibilities that mark
this fateful hour if I did not caution
the wage-earners of America that
mounting wages and decreased pro
duction can lead only to industrial and
economic ruin. ' '
I want, somehow, to appeal to the
sons and daughters of the republic, to
every producer, to join hand, and
brain in'production, more productipn,
honest production, -patriotic produc
tion, because patriotic production is
no less a defense of our best civiliza
tion than that of armed force. Pro
fiteering is a crime of commission,
under-production is a crime of omis
sion, we must work our most and
best,-else the destructive reaction will
come. 'We must stabilize and strive
for normalcy, else the inevitable re
action will bring its train of suffer
ings, disappointments and reversals.
We want to forestall such reaction,
we want to hold all advanced ground,
and fortify it with a general good
fortune. " v
Let us return for a moment to the
necessity' for understanding, particu
larly that understanding which con
cerns ourselves at home. I decline to
recognize any conflict of interest
among the participants in industry.
The destruction of one is the ruin of
the other, the suspicion of rebellion
of one unavoidably involves the other.
In conflict is disaster, in understand
ing there is triumph. There is no is
sue relating to the . foundation on
which industry is builded, because in
dustry is bigger than any element hi
its modern making. But the insistent
call is for labor, management and
capital to reach understanding.
The human element comes first, and
I want the employers in industry to
understand the aspirations, the con
victions, the yearnings of the mill
ions of American wage-earners, and
I want the wage-earners to under
stand the problems, the anxieties, the
obligations of management and capi
tal, and all of them must understand
their relationship to the people and
their obligation to the republic. Out
of this understanding will come the
unanimous committal to economic jus
tice, and in economic justice lies that
social justice which is the highest es
sential to human happiness. -
I am speaking as one who has
counted the contents of the pay en
velope from the viewpoint of - the
earner as well "as the employer. No
one pretends to deny the inequalities
which are manifest in modern indus
trial life. They are less In fact than
they were before organization and
grouping on either side revealed teh
inequalities," and conscience has
wrought more justice than statutes
have compelled, but" the ferment of
the world rivets, our thoughts on the
necessity of progressive solution, else
our generation will suffer the experi
ment which means chaos for our day
to reestablish God's plan for the great
tomorrow. .
Speaking our sympathies, uttering
the conscience of all the people, mind
ful of our right to dwell amid the
good fortunes of rational, conscience
impelled advancement, we hold the
majesty of righteous government,
with liberty under the law, to be our
avoidance of chaos, and we call upon
every citizen of the ""republic to hold
fast to that which made up "what we
are, and we will have orderly govern
ment safegaurd the onward march to
all ive ought to be. ; 1 --The,;
